Japan Atomic Emergency Bulletin #5 March 28 in North America. As suspected, government scientists have found plutonium outside the Fukushima nuclear complex. Damaged reactors are the suspected source. More radiation found outside the plant, and by Greenpeace 40 kilometers away - far outside the 20 k evacuation zone. Japan's gov't forbids residents from going home. May become a giant no-go zone bisecting Japan. A continuing risk to the Northern Hemisphere.
